Mantra Mix

At the start of each year, we dance to a routine that  uses songs from Mantra Mix, a 2 cd set to benefit Tibetan Refugees. A mantra can be described as an awakening spell. We choose a word, phrase or gesture to take us through 2026 to support us in being embodied and present.

Prehabilitation

A three class series to prepare our bodies for a lifetime of dance (and other fun stuff)

Sundays 1:30 - 2:30 pm

$10 drop in or class card

​

Sunday, January 18, 1:30 - 2:30 pm: 

We'll practice increasing body awareness; improving ankle and shoulder mobility; and using the back of our bodies for stability and balance. This practice helps us to get to the whoohoo! feeling of a dance class while moving with an active core and soft joints. 

Sunday, February 1, 1:30 - 2:30 pm: 

Zo Bolt teaches us how to cultivate strength and stability using biofeedback tools such as weighted balls and bands. This gives us information about our center of gravity, core, and end range of motion so we can move safely both in exercise and daily life. Zo is a functional movement instructor at Langford PT where they help folks go from injury into integrating movement and play back into their lives safely. Zo has a passion for working with people with specific needs, and they love to meet people where they are at so they can grow without fear and at their own rate.

Sunday, February 8, 1:30 - 2:30 pm: 

This class focuses on increasing intensity while keeping our risk low. For instance, we can raise our heart rate without pounding our feet; also we can pound our feet for bone strength (using jumps and not-jumps). We will practice fast-twitch movements that pack power, such as kicking and punching, and learn how much fun it is to feel grounded with increased proprioception. Taking check-in sensory breaks during class help us maintain intensity while working within our personal limits.
